Hydrangea paniculata 'Early Harry' ® P19

Hydrangea paniculata 'Early Harry' ® P19 is a deciduous shrub valued for its broad, conical flower clusters that open mainly white and often blush pink as they age, giving reliable colour from mid to late summer into early autumn. Well suited to Irish gardens, it grows best in sun or light shade in a moist but well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil. Prune in late winter or early spring, shortening the previous year’s flowering stems to a sturdy framework to encourage strong new shoots and abundant panicles.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
